Opinion: Increased development fees translate to higher prices for new homebuyers
As these charges increase, developers will have to increase the price of housing to make it economically feasible to build
When development fees rise, so do home prices.
In her latest op-ed for the @vancouversun.bsky.social UDI President & CEO Anne McMullin outlines how increased fees on builders are ultimately passed on to buyers, acting as a hidden tax on new housing.
